Sports247.ng reports that D’Tigers, who are unbeaten in the qualifiers, will face Cote d’Ivoire, Central African Republic and hosts, Senegal in the second leg of Group F.
With Nigeria, Tunisia and Angola already qualified for the FIBA World Cup in August, the last two tickets on offer for African countries will be determined in Dakar from February 22 to 24.
Senegal are second on the log followed by CAR, Cote d’Ivoire, Rwanda and Mali respectively.
